| Life brings change. Sometimes quickly, somtimes slow, but the true testament of life is a person's resiliency. Luckily, I seem to have this quality in spades. :) Take that life! | | |
| “Is this really how one finds love?” “No, it's just what we do to distract ourselves until the real thing comes along.” For months now, my thoughts keep turning to my relationships. Past, present, and future. I’ve looked over the past, reviewed the lessons I’ve learned. I’ve considered my many regrets with those I‘ve wronged and have wronged me. And I’ve been thinking about how with each experience what I look for in a person changes. …. ~Currently~ All I really want in a person is true reciprocity. To know that the person I love will put me first in all situations, and that I will do the same. To be head over heels for that person’s personality as well as looks, and for them to feel me likewise in both aspects. To know that this person will stop regularly and think of me as I will undoubtedly be doing the same. Someone with patience and empathy, so that when we do disagree, we will both take the time to put ourselves in the other’s shoes from both a logical and emotional standpoint. I know it will sound corny, but I every time I watch “The Cosby Show” I feel a pang of envy for what Claire and Heathcliff have. … yeah I said it, I’m jealous of fictitious characters… | | |
| Ok, recently purchased a new vehicle... and it's been smooth sailing. In fact the only bump along the way has been my old car. The decision to donate it to charity had been made, the charity contacted, the pick up date and time picked..... and that's as far as I've gotten. They were supposed to come last week, no dice. They were supposed to come yesterday, snake eyes. Then they were going to come this morning... yeah right. I understand they feel they can take their sweet ass time since they are the one's getting something for free, but in order to ensure the donations continue to roll in.... shouldn't they make it easy for people to do so? I was in a charitable club in high school, and I remember our teacher called a certain foodbank to ask if our group could volunteer and how.... listening over the speakerphone we could all hear the rude and mean spirited tone the worker used to turn down our offer of help. I also happen to know that my high school never donated to that charity again, and my teacher spread word to folks not to donate to this specific foodbank. I'm not condoning people use bad-mouthing to warn others from donating to specific charities. Giving is good. And many charities truly help those who cannot help themselves. All I'm saying is that they should make it easier for folks to give. I guess my logic is if it is easy for people to donate, they will do so more often, and ultimately reach more needy. Just take this crap car off my hands already!!! | | |
| What is the difference between gut feelings and insecurity? Or for that matter, what is the difference between faith and stupidity? As usual, I've been trying to deal with the negative thoughts that swirl in my mind: running again and again worst case scenarios while at the same time running through all facts and trying to reason with myself. The conclusion I've come to is quite simple. I am incapable of trust in any relationship where my vunerability is on the line. In other words my family and boyfriends. So I guess what I'm looking for here is help. How do you get to the point where you feel you can trust those close to you? | | |
| Ok, so awhile back, I wrote some poetry to show my students examples of different forms. I humbly present the following: Sunshine's evil light, makes sleepy eyes evil too. Hit the snooze again. Sleep. Heavy eyelids, nodding head warm bed and downy pillows Overactive minds dreaming, Sleep beckons. Very uninformed citizens, On issues that affect us all, Take no time to care. Instead, allow others to tell them what to think: Not caring to think for themselves. Governors, senators, and presidents are waiting to take advantage. | | |
